Logistics

Improving Security and Reducing costs at Distribution Centres

Whether you are a third party logistics service provider or an own account operator, knowing that your premises are protected 24/7 is essential.

When it comes to being 100% certain that your distribution centre is protected, without the issues surrounding manned security, and in the most cost effective manner, our approach is to use a combination of security equipment and latest technologies to provide a robust solution.

Company Requirement

A logistics company storing high value items at its distribution centre, were using manned security and wanted to reduce the costs and improve overall site security. The site utilised CCTV, access control and intruder alarms.

Our Process

We reviewed the site, undertook a complete security audit, we understood the site dynamics, throughput, operating times, access requirements etc and assessed the effectiveness of the current security arrangements.

Resulting Requirements

Inadequate protection of the perimeters fence, left the site vulnerable to intruders.

The Solution

We designed the solution to have beams located all around the perimeter fence line. The beams would be activated if broken, resulting in alerting the ARC Alarm Receiving Centre who would then log in into the CCTV system and view the areas that had been activated, searching the site with pan, tilt and zoom cameras.

We installed a Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) with external Public Address Speakers, which allowed the Alarm Receiving Centre to inform the intruder that they had notified the police who were on route, and that they were being filmed. We also installed improved external lighting.

Return On Investment

The capital expenditure on the project was £45,000 with ongoing costs of £5,000 per annum, this resulted in a net saving of £93,000 per year to the client.

Reducing Vandalism And Reducing Costs At Schools

Ensuring schools are safe and secure without the ‘fortress’ feel is a challenge facing many schools, and with 75% of crime in schools being opportunistic, it’s a matter that needs to be managed.

Also as schools are left empty for long periods during the holidays they are subject to attack, from arson to graffiti and vandalism. All of which take time to rectify and put an additional pressure on the school budget with the extra cost of remedial work and increased insurance costs.

An Issue of Vandalism and Arson

A school in the Midlands needed a solution to eradicate the vandalism occurring during the summer break. Following a visit to the school and carrying out a full risk assessment it was clear that the secluded areas of the school was giving the vandals undetected access to the school.

The Solution

The solution that was designed and proposed to the client and determined to be the most cost effective solution was to install electronic beams to the vulnerable areas, and integrate the beams to CCTV system that is monitored by an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). On activation of the beams the control room would log into the cameras see the cause of the activation, if the cause was intruders, Police would be alerted and attend the site.

This led to a complete elimination of vandalism and arson attacks at the school.

Key Considerations for Protecting Schools

A secure boundary is fundamentally important to a school, which should of substantial quality, gates should be to a high specification

Reduce access points for pedestrians and vehicles

Use vandal resistant energy efficient lighting from dawn to dusk to aid surveillance

Install an intruder alarm that is linked to the Police

Ensure outside furniture/rubbish containers are not easily moved to provide opportunities for easy access to roof

Undertake a security audit for a complete risk assessment from a security company with expertise in school security.

Parking

Parking

Unauthorised Car Parking and a Spate of Break Ins.

Company Requirement

A company was encountering unauthorised parking of their car park, and a spate of break ins was frustrating staff and causing costly damage.

Our Process

We surveyed the premises and quickly established vulnerable areas and inadequate perimeter fencing. This was encouraging car owners to take advantage of the situation and park without authority on the site.

The Solution

We provided a detailed specification and outline drawing of the car park and our proposal. We recommended and installed electronic entry and exit barriers with access control to the car park. All staff with authority to use the car park were issued with a proximity card, and parking parameters were established on the access control.

Staff could only access the car park within set periods and the company could monitor the car park usage.

The palisade fence was reinforced and the company had no further break ins and the car park is being used appropriately.

why us ?

If you are a business owner or have responsibility for security in an organisation, there are many security considerations to take into account, including local crime trends and criminal activity in your business sector.

Theft in the work place requires sensitive handling, & at Brunel Security we are experienced in providing effective solutions, whilst minimising disruption and getting quickly to the root cause of the issue.

Criminal damage, theft and arson attacks have serious implications to businesses, they unsettle staff, disrupt customer service and can bring a business to a stand still.

Roger Noakes, OCS

I approached Brunel Security to quote for a development that was troublesome and required CCTV
I found the contractors to be very professional helpful and questions were answered with confidence, site visits were held with ease and I was delighted with the work as I was kept informed even when there was a slight delay in some equipment arriving they informed me straight away and kept to the schedule.
Having had such good service I have given them further instructions for door entry systems, fire alarm systems and CCTV as well.
Site visits have been done and reports and quotes in ready to move forward.
The after care and the office staff are very professional when approached and I would certainly recommend them to anyone who needed this kind of service
